The Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor, has said
those behind the Owo attacks have been arrested.
Some gunmen had stormed St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo,
Ondo State, killing no fewer than 40 worshippers.
The Federal Government, however, said the Islamic States of
West Africa Province terrorists were behind the attack.
During a meeting with editors and media executives in Abuja on Tuesday, the Chief of Defence Staff confirmed that the Owo attackers had been nabbed.
Irabor said the suspects would be paraded after an
investigation had been concluded into the matter.
He said, “Within the last time we met, we have recorded
remarkable achievement. Let me bring it to your notice that within the same
period, there have been ignoble actions of men of the underworld that have
impinged on our collective well-being, namely the unfortunate train attack, the
attack on Kuje correctional center as well as what has been reported in the
past the attack on the presidential convoy.
“Also, the Owo incident which was intended to bring man and
women of the armed forces to present them in a form and shape that make it to
look as if the nation is on a siege. We have arrested those behind the
dastardly act in Owo.
“It was my intention to present them to the public, but
because of the investigation still going on, I had to change my mind. I will
like to say that in due course, the world will see them and others who are
behind other daring attacks in the country.”
